Independent filmmakers Kami
Chisholm, Jen Gilomen and Amy André combine three short films into a special
edition dvd to support future Altcinema film projects. Seven Questions
About Desire is the longest of the shorts at 26 minutes. In this documentary,
director Kami Chisholm surprises her lover Amy André and interviews her
with intimate questions about their relationship. It's unedited, using a hand
held camera, and the first ten minutes is like eavesdropping on a very private
conversation with lots of giggles. With the camera now on a tripod, the
second half of the short shoots the couple from the shoulders up while they make
love. For me, watching and listening to real people have sex to orgasm was a bit
awkward, but that's just me :-) In Sigmund Freud: Professional Psychoanalyst
(6 minutes), Kami Chisholm & Jennifer Gilomen use live-action super 8mm film
with hand puppets and dolls to imagine one queer day in the professional life
of Freud. This short is also available on pay
per view on their website. And finally, Amy André's On My
Skin (En Mie Piel) looks at the intersection of race, color, gender and family
relationships through the story of Logan, a bi-racial transgender man of Mexican
descent (8 minutes). Also available via pay
per view. |
